It was probably just the equivalent of alien juveniles drunk in the Suburban.

That hardly a city. There are areas of forest inhabited by coyotes between NYC and Philadelphia. Sure, it's not wilderness, but it sure as hell isn't all city from NYC to Philadelphia. If you are going to count that as a city, you might as well expand it to include Boston to D.C.

I didn't make it up, go tell it to the World Atlas.

If you follow the Jersey Pike from NY to Philly, it's contiguous civilization, especially east of the Pike.
The forested areas west of the Pike, like up near the water gap, don't break the chain, they're beside it.

Besides, coyotes will live in the city.

xob should tell all the news writers, they think Mexico City has the most people. But considering that WE are unable to count how many Mexicans we have in this country, it is not surprising that we don't know how many of them are there either

I like his assertion that we only "came as invaders and kill the indians natives". Even in Mexican schools, they are supposed to know that the Spanish invaders did away with more than 25 million natives within one generation after arriving, 30 million if you count the Caribbean islands as well. We would have needed another 100 years to come even close to those numbers.
